It wasn't provided "free of charge." If the Israelis did not pay for this system, Caterpillar did not simply give it away. No, the US Congress--meaning We, The People--paid for this system to go to Israel.
NEW: The Board of Directors at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) will formally change its definition of who qualifies as a journalist, to broadly exclude slain Palestinian and Lebanese journalists who worked for government-funded media outlets. Israeli, American, and Ukrainian journalists who work for state-funded outlets or are embedded with the military will remain recognized as journalists, of course.
The move was catalyzed to appease the right-wing Zionist rag The Free Beacon, which has repeatedly accused Palestinian and Lebanese journalists of being undercover militants or used their political opinions or affiliations as justification for their killing by the IOF.
This is a racist scandal of massive proportions for everyone involved, and it makes a mockery of the purported mission of the organization. It is absolutely abhorrent that the organization’s resources are wasted on this cowardly witch-hunt, at a moment in history that is the deadliest for journalists, especially in Palestine and Lebanon.
Yet another example of Vickie Paladino calling for the federal government to retaliate against people she disagrees with. This time, it’s a thinly veiled call for the federal government to kill members of @DemSocialists.
We need public leaders who will fight for a politics of life and the Councilmember has shown time and time again that she does not. Councilmember Paladino should be expelled.
⭕️ New York City Council Member Vickie Paladino suggested the CIA and FBI once would have “neutralized one way or another” “unabashed revolutionaries” while sharing a post identifying members of the Democratic Socialists of America’s leadership.
Congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier called the remarks a “thinly veiled call” for the federal government to kill DSA members and demanded Paladino be expelled from the City Council.
Israeli soldiers who took part in the warcrimes and genocide in Gaza are now TOURING MOROCCO.
Yesterday morning they were at Taghazout Beach.
By evening, they were in Souiria.
Hours ago, they were reportedly in Ghazoua near Essaouira, driving an MG ZS.
They arrived in Morocco three days ago from Miami.
The “rising tide of antisemitism” panic machine just ran into one of the facts it would rather bury.
Florida prosecutors seek a significant prison term for Israeli Michael Ron David Kadar, convicted of making *thousands of hoax threats* against Jewish community centers, schools, and airlines.
Michael Ron David Kadar, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen from Ashkelon, was already convicted in Israel over a campaign of thousands of fake bomb threats targeting Jewish community centers, schools, hospitals, airports, airlines, and other institutions. Times of Israel reported in 2018 that he admitted to roughly 2,000 hoax calls, including threats against JCCs, and told police he “liked to see people running around in panic.”
Now Kadar has been extradited to the United States and arraigned in Orlando on federal charges tied to bomb and active-shooter threats against Jewish institutions in Florida, including community centers and preschool programs.
The Justice Department says the calls forced evacuations, lockdowns, and emergency responses. No explosives were found.
The fear industry never wants to sit with the facts: threats used to justify surveillance, censorship, militarized policing, and sweeping accusations against Israel’s critics have, in one of the most infamous cases, been traced back to an Israeli-American hoaxer.
Every accusation is a confession.
